This is the best summary I could come up with:

Canalys has some gruesome new numbers out for the North American smartphone market in Q2 2023, detailing what it's calling the "worst quarterly performance for over a decade."

Only a single company survived this quarter unscathed, and it's actually Google!

The biggest loss on the chart is actually "others," down 43 percent, likely representing the further consolidation of the Android market.

Canalys explains some of this by saying the low-end market "will continue to struggle as prepaid demand dwindles."

Despite the overall losses, Canalys says, "Apple and Samsung boosted their premium segment shipments with 25% and 23% growth respectively in Q2 2023."

Canalys expects a bit of a recovery in 2024, where it's projecting a 3 percent increase.

I hit my limit with hope much I’m willing to pay for a phone. Unless my contracting work needs the best phone I’ll be capping myself at a price by getting not the latest phone.

Something something trust thermocline.

My new motorola has about 2 gigs of bloat that I can't get rid of and I'm sure it's worse on the newer phones.

Did you get your phone from your carrier? In addition, some brands do that with cheaper phones. Can buy unlocked phones.

Maybe try Google Pixel or iPhones that have terms against pre-installing shit.

Yeah, thanks. It was from my carrier. I think my next phone will be a pixel, and then I'll install my own OS.
